Ruud Gullit: The Most Complete Footballer Ever 

Thank you all for supporting this channel. This type of videos are extremely difficult to make, especially since I do everything on my own and I am barely able to cover all the costs with RU-vid monetization alone, which is the reason why I decided to create a patreon channel, I will be able to hire video editors, thus creating new videos much quicker than usual. Your help would be invaluable for me and for this channel! the link of the patreon - www.patreon.com/iconarchives

I'm a simple guy, I see Gullit, I click.

Coach: kid, which position can you play? Kid Gullit: Yes

Gullit in the late 80s and early 90s was probably the premier player on the planet. Everyone looked up to him as the best

Thank you for this excellent documentary on a legendary player who I grew up watching. I remember one night in 1989,I was 12 years old and had stayed up to watch Champions League Final that AC Milan was contesting.My father has just bought a VCR so we recorded the final live as it was played so we could watch the game again.On that night we saw Gullit bang 2 goals and we were rooting for him,I remember jumping with joy seeing him lift that Champions league trophy,little did I know that he had played with a knee injury. Gullit was not just a footballer,he was an icon and during the 80s apartheid was causing instability in Mozambique and many of us living in the region of southern Africa felt effects of that,so we held Gullit in such high esteem as he spoke out against apartheid regime,by 1992 the Regime had collapsed. His legacy is safe and it will only get better as more information comes to light,he is also first Black Manager to ever win a major Trophy in British football history,this considering the lack of black managers in football today,so Gullit was a trail blazer. Those of us who were blessed to watch him play live at his prime will never forget his athleticism,sprints and dreadlocks flying in the air as he fires a shot into the net with either right or left foot,or smash a powerful header into goal,what a phenom he was.

The Dutch usually talk about Cruijff, but this golden tulip and modest man was from another dimension. It was all power, flexibility and technique that you rarely see on the fields. If he were to play football now, he would be at the top of the best in the football world..a salute to Ruud gulit the Dutch metaphor we once saw on the football fields⚽🔥🔥🔥

gullit has to be one of the most underrated footballers ever.

Gullit was the sole architect of an epochal change in the history of soccer, not only superlative technique but in addition physical overpower combined with a vision of the game and an ability to play in all roles always with the same effectiveness and at the highest level. By far the most complete and strongest player of all time.

Packed his Prime Moments Icon on one of the FIFA games one time. He annihilated so many opponents for me.

I was 9 years old in 74 on the Dutch island texel enjoying a soccer camp when Holland lost the WK final against Germany. In 78 we lost in Argentina against Argentina. South Africa was nr 3. Knowing I'm rolling into the ground without that cup is nasty twisted in a way u can't emagin. That semi final against Germany when van Basten slide in that 2-1 was a nuclear explosion just unreal. I ended up at a police station sore from top to bottom in a blur. Gullit is a regular chilled dude. The holland 80s was special in every way!! P. S. Rest in peace Diego Armando Maradona. U are the nr 1

Gullitt and Van Bastan were god-like players in AC Milan. My favorite club team growing up ❤.

Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, when Milan was orange, I remember those amazing years like it was yesterday!

14 tuổi tôi được xem trận chung kết euro 88 giữa tuyển Liên Xô và Hà Lan mặc dù cũng như số đông người Việt Nam khi ấy ủng hộ đội tuyển Liên Xô nhưng với trình độ và phong cách với mái tóc rất đặc biệt của Gullit chúng tôi đã rất hâm mộ anh !

At his peak, Ruud Gullit was the best player on the planet. It was great watching him at Chelsea towards the end of his career and so many top European players were interested to join English football because he came. I think he had an under-stated impact on the premier league we see today, just think: he was the 1st over-seas manager to win a major British trophy, there have been 'quite a few' since!

watched the whole video. nice job, made me appreciate Gullit a whole lot more

Seeing seria a in its golden era makes me feel bad, seeing all these legend such as Mancini and baresi makes me see our championship with a different view, great video thank you very much,

Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard were the Superstars of EURO CUP 1988😮

This is the most comprehensive documentary I ever watched. Great work!

This is a very good documentary. Very well-written. Even though I'd followed the great AC Milan during the Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello epochs, I never knew the full story behind Gullit's move to Sampdoria.

Gullit and Van Bastern were on another level plus having a goal scoring CB like Koeman 🔥

MUDA LAWAL WAS NIGERIA'S FIRST COMPLETE PLAYER Somewhere in South Western Nigeria in the 1970s, there was another complete player called Muda Lawal who could play anywhere on the pitch and excelled in those positions. He played most of his playing career for IICC Shooting Stars of Ibadan, Stationary Stores of Lagos and Abiola Babes of Abeokuta. In 1976, he helped IICC Shooting Stars to their first continental title, winning the African Cup Winners Cup - the first Nigerian clubside to do so. Lawal was part of the victorious squad that won AFCON for Nigeria at home in 1980 for the first time. He had 86 caps for the team where his last appearance was in August 1985 against Zambia in a Egypt 1986 AFCON qualifier. Lawal had the record for the most capped Nigerian player for many years before Nwankwo Kanu equaled it in 2010 and Joseph Yobo surpassing it to make it 100 in 2014. Lawal was an indigene of Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State in South West Nigeria where a stadium in Asero was named after him. Past and present musicians have sang of his football prowess making him a cult hero among football fans in Nigeria in the 1970s and 1980s when he was active. He unfortunately passed away in 1991 at the age of 37 in Ibadan. 🇳🇬 ⚽️🇳🇬⚽️🇳🇬⚽️🇳🇬

One of my favorite players in the days

"Argueably the greatest player in Dutch history Johan Cruijff". Cruijff being the greatest is about the only thing no Dutch argue about.

Him and frank rjikaard could play absolutely anywhere and make that role theirs...special talents...that milan side from 88-90 was arguably the greatest club side in history

PELE WAS THE BEST AND HERE IS THE PROOF. 1. He could score with either leg. He scored over 1,000 goals, goals of all types, colors and shapes. From outside the box, inside the box, volleys, scissor kicks, diving headers, soft, hard, over the goalie's reach, upper corner, lower corner. You think of it, he did it. 2. He was excepcional with headers. He would usually out jump taller defenders. He was like a fish in midair, able to get higher once he jumped. Observe carefully his header-goal against Italy in the finals of the World Cup México 1970. 3. Physically, he was impecable. Strong, fast, quick, powerful, with remarkable endurance. 4. Technically, Pelé was masterful. His control was awe inspiring. Pelé made it look easy, natural, joyous. He could dribble past a cloud of defenders like a hot knife through butter. 5. Tactically, Pelé had no flaws. He would move knowingly on the field, commanding his teammates, understanding where they would be, occupying spaces, opening the game as needed. Watch him control and blindingly pass the ball to Carlos Alberto for Brazil's fourth goal in the final against Italy in the World Cup México 1970. Simply delicious! 6. He was courageous. Most of the time, when he stepped on the field, Pelé was a marked man. Teams would have their top defender shadow him constantly. He played most of his career without the benefit of the disciplinary cards, they were instituted in 1970, Pelé's last World Cup. The referee's "culture" of the time, allow for much more rough play. Pelé learn to defend himself against tough defenders and never backed down. 7. Pelé played on fields that were not the best by today's standards. The ball would bounce here an there, responding to the unevenness and holes on the field. It was much more difficult to make a good pass, much more difficult to control the ball and yet, Pelé shone with the light of a genius. 8. Pelé won many national titles, international titles and the World Cup three times. He is still today the youngest player to play in a World Cup final (17 years old at Sweden 1958) and score (two goals). 9. Finally, Pelé was FIFA's best ambassador of the game. An example for the youth of the future and most decent human being. And who could beat that smile? I saw him score the most remarkable goal I have ever witnessed... Lima was all up in a buzz as the news spread like wild fire about the arrival of Santos of Brazil with Pelé. Santos was going to play against Alianza Lima the Peruvian champion. The excitement increased as Alianza announced the hiring of an Uruguayan defender named Souza just for the match. Souza's job, of course, was to shadow Pelé all game long. Alianza paid Souza the enormous amount (in those days) of $500 dollars just for the one game, all other expenses (travel, stay, etc.) covered. It was summer, so the game was going to be played at night at the "Estadio Nacional." As the game progressed, Souza, a tall, black, strong and agile player was doing a very good job of shadowing Pelé. Souza, being from Uruguay, was schooled in the ways and manners of their style of play. That is, all nonsense and as rough as the referee would allow and more. It was almost half time, Pelé was next to the touch line near midfield watching his goalie kick the ball long and high. As the ball fell towards him, Pelé smoothly chess trapped it and allow it to roll down onto the field in front of him. Souza jumped on the ball but Pelé was first. With his back towards Souza, Pelé heeled the short bounce of the ball over Souza's head. Fast as lightening, Pelé turned around, his eyes riveted on the ball as it was falling down passed Souza. He quickly realized that Villanueva, Alianza's goalkeeper, about forty meters away, was way out of his line. In a flash, Pelé volley the ball. It described a laser like parabola over the surprised humanity of Villanueva and into the back of the net! It was magnificent! Extraordinary! Amazing! An instant hush fell all over the stadium, as if all those human minds needed time to really process and accept was they had just witnessed. And then, then, everybody stood up and applauded and applauded and applauded. I still can hear them. Father, may you rest in peace, thank you for taking me that night to the stadium. Your loving son, always. Pelé, Pelé WAS AND IS THE BEST!

When Gullit was at Chelsea even people who supported other teams in England liked Chelsea at that time which changed when Roman Abramhovic bought the club (I’m English and my English team I support is Liverpool who are my first love thought Juventus is my true love)

Gullit has his dad's talent and took it to another level

The coach making the racist remark around 08:48 was Thijs Libregts, not the trainer we see in the video. That is Leo Beenhakker.

Gullit and Seedorf, different guys!

Pre injury Ruud was so good, it didn't even make sense. Post injury, he was still absolutely amazing.

I cannot see Gullit without thinking about Rijkaard and Van Basten. The most incredible trio of players ever! Milan fans must have been wanking when they signed all 3

The most underrated youtuber

Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkaard were all magical players. Van Basten had he not suffered terrible string of injuries could have gone down in history as a player of R9 caliber. Rijkaard was equally brilliant to Gullit and these 3 were simply unstoppable.

it was a sexy football gullit's brought to chelsea. and i think that was my first time too to watch chelsea on tv.

Need to see the rest of the Dutch greats

A man who can play everywhere in a football field😊

His team mate Frank Rijkaard was also very complete and he could also play multiple positions although not quite as many as Ruud Gullit

My favourite Dutch man!❤❤

It's a disappointment he had to close his international career in total bitterness.

And played those positions at a high level what a player

What a great video, thank you so much

If this man would’ve won a World Cup he would’ve undoubtedly been in the top 5 greatest players of all time (along with cruyff)

Grande Ruud

Ruud Gullit #Legend

The intro with his hair flying off while he’s misting it is hilarious

The reaso i like Dutch national team is RUUD GULLIT❤

Gullit>>>>Zidane>>>>Lampard>>>>P.Scholes>>>>David Beckham>>>>Ozil...

This is so good.. i would love to see a video for Cristiano or messi also

a 4-2-2 formation!!! well that's some wild football 🙂

And..his real name is Rudi Dil . Anecdote: A tax office employee asked his collegue "Do you know Ruud Dil? He earns really a lot and filled in he is a football player, never heard of him tough..."

12:37 - There is No 4-2-2 formation in football. It's actually a 4-4-2

Milan team with the 3 flying Dutch men was the real deal.

Sounds like he was such a clutch player.

Gullit is one of the greatest complete players of all time. Lothar Matthäus also one of the greatest complete players of all time

What about nicolo berella and Camavinga 😊😊 they are alsoo good😊

Gullit could play anywhere. Striker, Cm, and Defense, he was the complete player.

Wish I had the privilege to see that whole generation live but 🤷 - Gullit, Van Basten, Rijkaard and the rest

I got gillit in fc Mobile

Thank you Camavinga for let me remember Ruud Gullit😁😁
